LORENZO -D. BALL AND JOHN T. BENDER, OF CANTON, OHIO.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,952, dated June 26,1888.

Application filed February 15, 1888. Serial No. 264,094. (No'modeL) ToaZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, LORENZO D. BALL and J OHN T. BENDER,citizens of theUnited States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flows; and wedo hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectionof the fixed beam. Fig. 2 is a top view of the pivotal beam. Fig. 3 is aside elevation. Fig. 4. is a detached view of the fixed beam. Fig.5isadetached view of the disk. Fig. 6 is a detached view of thepivotingbolt.

The present invention has relation to plows; and it consists in thedifferent parts and combination of parts hereinafter described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the post or standard, to thebottom or lower portion of which are attached the landside, mold-board,and share, in the ordinary manner. To the top or upper end of saidstandard is securely attached the front or forward end of the beam B,said beam being substantially of the form shown in Fig. 4. The rear endof this beam B is attached to the brace or support 0, substantially asshown in the drawings, and is so arranged that the beam B, together withthe forked beam E, may be moved or adjusted in either directionlaterally, said part-s turning on the bolt 'a. The forked beam E issubstantially of the form shown in the drawings, and, as shown, it isprovided with the side bars or arms, 6 b. The rear portions of thesearms are so adjusted that they will fit to the sides of the beam B. Tothe front or forward end of the beam B is attached the block or head F.Said block or head is provided with an aperture to receive and hold thefront or forward end of the draftbar G, as illustrated in Fig. 3. Therear end of the draft-bar G is securely attached to the front or forwardend or portion of the fixed or upper portion of the screw I, as shown inFig. l. The bottom or lower end-of the screw I is provided with the eyee, which is for the purpose of receiving the bolt f. Said bolt passesthrough the arms b b and the slots 9, as illustrated in the drawings. It will be seen that as the screw-head H is turned in one direction itwill elevate the screw I, carrying with it the boltfand the rear portionof the pivoted beam E, and lower said parts when turned in the oppositedirection, thereby adjusting the plow proper to run or cut the desireddepth.

On each side of the beam B is located a disk, J, said disks beingrecessed into the side faces of the beam B. Each of these disks isprovided with the lugs K, which fit against the top and bottom edges orfaces of the arms bb, said disks being for the purpose of providing astrong and substantial connection between the beams B and E, therebypartially removing the strain from the connecting-bolt c. The aperturein the block or head F is formed somewhat larger than the draft-bar G,so as to allow the block or head F to move back and forth on thedraft-bar G as the beam E is elevated or lowered by means of thescrewhead H. The screw'head H is provided with the collar or flange h,which fits into the recess d. One side of said recess is left open, soas to slip the screw-head H and its collar or flange into properposition.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the beam B, provided with the flange d and recess(1, said flange at being formed integral with the beam B, the screwheadH, provided with the collar or flange h, the screw I, provided with theeye e, the bolt f, and the beam E, pivotally attached to the beam B,subsianziaiiy as an]. for the In testimony that we claim the above wepurpose specified. have hereunto subscribed our names in the [c 2. Thecombination of the beam B,thebean1 presence of two witnesses. E, havingthe arms or bars I) b, the disks J, LORENZO 1). BALL. 5 provided withthe lugs K, the draft-bar G,the JOHN T. BENDER.
